This comes to us from long time Fishing the Vineyard friend and contributor Johnny from Philly. Real windy today.

Fishing the Vineyard Report 06/26/2010

This morning's agenda included a mix of open water jerk bait fishing for rolling striped fish and blind fishing with in tight over patch bottom. Neither were a home run...while we're not talking complete famine, the open water potato patches are certainly a wee bit less dense than they have been in recent weeks. This, compounded with heavy weekend boat traffic made the conditions for getting bites on light tackle difficult at best. We ground through it though, and wound up with a decent sized hand-full of slot fish. Once said action dispersed we tucked back into to the beach. While the patch reefs aren't holding to many striped fish at this point they were holding the plus sized yellow eye that you see pictured at the top of this spread. Fun morning with a great father son team...

Pictured in this spread is team Flanders. These dudes bring the heat boys and girls. Yes Kevin, I'm aware that the blog has become the definitive experiment in the ineptitude of iPhone photography. For this I apologize. Also, check out the link below to a youtube vid shot on the bow of the super skiff the other day. It features Giff from Bozeman displaying an exemplary crab feed over some light bottom. Pretty work Giff.

Dukes County Sight Casters Report 06/19/2010

Pictured in this spread is Ned from Philly. During the course of our trip yesterday Ned learned to think like a crab. Dukes County sight casting remains strong at the current juncture. It's been a bit tougher the past couple of days with weekend crowds and intermittent clouds, but when the sun is shining and there's not some dope yelling at you for fishing in front of their cute little private beach all is right with the world.

Dukes County Sight Casters Report 06/18/2010

Pictured in this spread are Wally from Gotham and Ian from Hot-Lanta. These bros pack a skills that have been honed all over planet earth. They also pack an extra lunch for their fishing guide, which is always appreciated. The flats fishing on the pebble is about as good as it gets right now. Bluebird skies, mid day lows and snatchy striped fish have made our last few sessions truly memorable.
